Good Samaritan Services provides shelter and housing support, but we also provide so much more! Participants in any of our programs have access to a wide array of Financial Stability and Personal Development resources. These resources help our participants build a firm foundation for their transition to independent housing, empowering them to maintain their stability and housing.
Personal Development resources are one of the prides of Good Sam. We know that individuals and families with supportive relationships are more likely to maintain stability once they move on from our services. The blessing we have at Good Sam is communities that are eager to be supportive in this way. When we are able to provide participants with supportive relationships outside our programs, as well as with relationship building skills, we see success skyrocket. | | Some of the Personal Development resources Good Sam provides are:
- PARENTING EDUCATION AND SUPPORT We help develop participants parenting skills and knowledge of children's developmental ages and stages. We also help families understand the impact of trauma and creating skills for resilience.
- ASSESSMENTS AND REFERRALS We perform regular social/emotional/financial assessments to determine needs, level of services and appropriate referrals.
- SUPPORT GROUPS & WORKSHOPS Participants are offered opportunities to share information, learn new skills and develop peer support.
- MENTORING Volunteers join together with participants and caseworkers to provide long term emotional and relational support, increasing participants overall success within our programs.
